DUBLIN'S FAVOURED CITY, in Merrion-square (which for outward show and inward accommo dation, leaves our Grosvenor-square at a respectful distance. It has been fitted np_with a view to accommodate the Nobility and Gentry of the land. There are magnificent suites of apartments, and some of a minor character, so that " ALL SORTS AND CONDITIONS OF MEN" will find themselves at home at the Antrim Hotel. The situation ranks beyond any other in the city, and the comfort and accommo dation that will be fouad to preside throughout, are quite on a par with Morrison's, and it needs not a higher panegyric. The Property is Leasehold for 42 years ; the ground -rent a mere bagatelle. The furniture and fixtures are well adapted to this . Establishment; and a respectable applicant will find every disposi tion to facilitate his wishes, and consult " his ways and means." In conclusion it may be remarked that it- presents a rare opportu.-; nity to acquire an independence in quick time. Principals only need apply (and if by letter post paid) to Mr. George Robins, London.

THE MONMOUTHSHIRE MERLIN, pub lished every SATURDAY Morning in Newport, and eaten- Bively circulated through Monmouthshire and the neighbouring English and Welsh Counties. The Politics of The MERLIN are liberal—not violent free— not licentious : it scorns the trammels of party, and seeks, by the best of its ability, to promulgate to the community a true know ledge of their rights, their duties, and their interests, without de tracting, it is humbly hoped, from that dignified character which the Press should ever support : " Nil falsi audeat—nil yeti non audeat dicere." Newport, the destined emporium of South Wales, it is needless to state, is now regarded as an important seaport of the United Empire. It is intimately connected with the great Mining Dis tricts that surround it: from its resources those districts obtain their most valuable supplies. Its import and export trade is consi derable, and of daily increase. To Advertisers it is almost needless to state, that a journal pub lished in such a town, and circulating, as The Merlin does, amongst the most enlightened, affluent, and influential classes of Newport, its vicinity, and the County in general, holds out advan tages to those desirous of communicating with the public of an im portant nature. The extent of its circulation will be best ascertained‘by the fol lowing extract from a return of newspaper stamps issued to the 18 foll owing newspapers f rom t h e I s t A pr il to the 30t h S eptem b er, 38. From this it will be perceived that, with the exception of the Gloucester Journal and the Hereford Journal, two of the oldest -established papers in that part of England adjoining Mon mouthshire, the Merlin is, in point of circulation, at the head of the press of the adjoining English and Welsh counties : M ONMOUTHSHIRE MERLIN Monmouthshire Beacon Merthyr Guardian Welshman Silurian Hereford Journal Hereford Times Hereford County Press • 51,500 12,100 Gloucester Journal Gloucester Ch ron i c l e ... !

Every member assured for the whole term of life, whose policy shall have existed three years, will be entitled to a proportional share of the quinquennial . profits, which may be applied either - by additions to their respective policies, or in reduction of the pre miums thereafter to become payable. Assurers may pay their premiums in any way most suitable to their circemsLances, either quarterly, half-yearly, or annually. N. B.—A Committee of Directors, attended by a medical officer, sit at the Company's house every Tuesday, from Twelve to Two o'clock, to grant Assurances, but one Director is daily in attend ance to render every facility to those to whom despatch may be an object.

As it is pro bable that on this, as on former similar occasions, t h e d es i re to par ticipate in these benefits will very largely increase the number of proposals for Assurance which will be made to the Society previous to the closing of the books for the current year, it will greatly fa cilitate the duties of the officers of the Society, and at the various Branches throughout the country, that parties intending to propose Assurance do so with as little delay as possible, in order to prevent the inconvenience which the delaying of them till the latest possible moment at which they can be received or carried through, con sistently with the Society's regulations, has given rise to en former occasions. Parties wishing to effect Assurances, so as best to meet any par ticular contingency, or effect any specific object, will receive the requisite information, end have the suitable form of Proposal trans mitted to them ; and all official communications of this nature are considerM strictly confidential.

GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL by AUCTION at THE GLOCESTER HOTEL AND TAVERN, on the Parade, Brighton, on TUESDAY, the 22d January, at One for Two o'Clock, punctually. A FREEHOLD RESIDENCE of considerable pretensions— as well in respect to family comfort as in its outward form. It is situate in that portion of the town that is considered VERY RECHERCHE.—ST. PETER'S MANSION, IN ST. PETER'S-PLACE, is very close to the SPLENDID NEW CHURCH. It has two fronts, commanding distant and Variedviews. The one comprehends a lively view of the INTERMINABLE BUSTLE OF THE LONDON ROAD, with retiring rooms adapted to those who would repose in absolute quiet. An establishment for Pupils or a Clergyman could not be domesticated better. The Garden precludes any annoyance from the dust, and the view towards THE PALACE AND PAVILION GROUNDS is not to be exceeded by any contemporary in Brighton. The ac commodation within is most perfect, and precisely such as would be consistent with the inclination of those who think TOO MANY SPARE BEDS might be classed amongst the annoyances of human life—comfort, in its extended interpretation, presides throughout. The Proprietor (it may be remarked) erected this little mansion for his own occu pation—expense was scarcely a secondary consideration, a point which distinguishes it from the greater portion of Brighton Pro perty. The fitting up of the rooms is in good taste throughout, and in good keeping with the exterior. Its approximation to the Gloucester Hotel ( where so much of the best company congregate) affords a pleasant auxiliary and lounge, if, par accident, ennui should occasionally intrude its unwelcome appearance. The Estate is Freehold of Inheritance; it is fitted up with Fix tures ; and in case early - possession is required, fourteen days would be abundant time to accomplish it. ANY PORTION OF THE PURCHASE MONEY MAY REMAIN FOR SEVEN YEARS ON MORTGAGE. Particulars will be ready immediately, and then had at the Glou cester and the Old Ship Hotels ; Mr. Wright's Library ; of Mr. Edwards (Agent for Houses), London-road, all of Brighton ; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, London. IN BRIGHTON. THE GLOCESTER HOTEL AW6 COFFEE-HOUSE. A FREEHOLD PROPERTY OF GREAT VALUE. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has received the instructions of the surviving Trustee and Executor of the late Mr. SAMUEL BRIERLY to SELL by AUCTION on the premises, on TUESDAY, the 22d January, at One for Two o'Clock precisely, A SINGULARLY VALUABLE FREEHOLD PROPERTY FOR INVESTMENT OR OCCUPATION. ______. _ ------.• It comprehends THE GLOCESTER HOTEL AND COFFEE-HOUSE, very advantageously placed for business, in front of THE GRAND ENTREE INTO BRIGHTON, vary- auxtr--6, tht , VETlTtict - Tre - Vrt bur(' , and approaching THE PALACE AND PAVILION GROUNDS. From this statement it will be conceded that it yields not to any of its compeers for the publicity of its situation, but it aspires infinitely beyond such faint praise. The Glocester has acquired a renown which has placed it in a peculiarly advantageous position with the public. In Brighton there always existed quite enough of HIGH HOTELS, and no great scarcity of LOW ones; it. however be longed to the rapid march of the mind, and the energy and sagacity of the late Proprietor, to institute one of another character, where the Elite of merchants, stock brokers, solicitors, and others .of high professional character, with families of great respectability, could re pose at a moderate expense, and thus lengthen their stay without increasing their intended outlay. During a long course of active service, throughout this well regulated concern, comfort in its most comprehensive form has always been a leading attribute; next in suc cession is proverbial civility and unusual cleanliness in everydepart_ ment ; wines of a character rarely to be encountered at the highest hotel in England; and last not least, it has acquired the distinguish ing feature of moderate charges. With such a repast, in the shape of combined advantages, the result could never be equivocal, and a large fortune has crowned the laudable efforts to succeed. Th e great point, however, to which Mr. Robins would direct public attention, is the knowledge that its " HIGH REPUTATION IS UNFADED," and a successor adopting the PLAN of his predecessor, by placing conspicuously the " MOTTO OF COMFORT, AND MODE RATE CHARGES," to welcome every guest, is certain to realise a large fortune at a RAILWAY PACE The ordinary limit of an advertisement precludes going more into detail. En passant it may be said about FORTY BED S ARE NIGHTLY IN REQUISITION ; there are eight tavern or family rooms, a coffee-room, well frequented, stabling for twenty_three horses, and standing for twenty carriages. The purchaser will be entitled to very early possession by taking the furniture and suitable appendages at a fair valuation, and GREAT ACCOMMODATION will be GIVEN in RESPECT to the PURCHASE MONEY for the FREEHOLD. Particulars may be had twenty-one days prior to the sale, at the Waterloo, Liverpool; Mr. J. M. Fisher, Auctioneer, Manches ter; the Plough, Cheltenham • Bush, Bristol ; Whi te Hart, Bath • the Old Ship and Wright's Library, Bri g ht on ; of Mr. Wood, solicitor, Lewes ; Mr. Freeman, solicitor, Ship-street, and at the Gloucester Hotel, Brighton ; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, London. The Hotel can be seen by application to the manageress, at .he Bar. THE,TERMINUS OF THE RAILWAY WILL BE CLOSE AT HAND, AND BE A GREAT AUXILIARY IN THE WAY OF BUSINESS AND PROFIT.

Dear Colonel,—Permit me, unknown as I am to you, to trouble you with this correspondence, and let your well known zeal and devotedness to the cause of our dear country serve me, in this instance, both as an introduction to you and as an apology for my intrusion. We have not here been ignorant of what passes in Europe, of the condition the old world is in, and of the dis sensions that agitate its different Cabinets. But most of all have we diligently watched the intriguing policy o f Russia wh erever i t was at its foul work, whther it tended towards undermining the influence of powerful empires, or preparing an unavoidable ruin to its neighbours, as it had once done to Poland. Yet what we most feel indignant at is that the despicable (podia istola) Czar, while endeavour.. ing to palliate his most inhuman and most atrocious acts before the world, shrinks not from employing the vilest means, provided lie can lower us in the estimation of other nations. His task, however, is a difficult one. We are well aware that the safe sojourn afforded to our countrymen in England, and the sympathy felt in their fate, must prove a deep sting to him : he, therefore, does everything in order to destroy that mutual friendly connection. It is for that purpose, undoubtedly, that he sent an individual, named " Colonel Von Shoultz," one of his blood-hounds, to Ame rica, with an order to assume the character of a Pole, the easier to accomplish the object of his criminal mission. This person, a disguised Muscovite (for from all appear ances he can be but such) had opened a regular office at New York, 380, Pearl-street, since the 15th Oct., and contrived, through the medium of Polish Jews residing here, and employed as his agents, to make out a list of all the Polish exiles, whom he ordered to call at his office, in order, as he stated, to deliberate upon the fate of our un halipy country. You will conceive, for your own heart will tell you, what feelings were awakened by the purport of these words in the breast of every Pole. We hastened to his office— but, alas ! from the evidence which I shall give, we were soon undeceived ; for it was obvious that the would-be Pole we saw could be but a sinister agent of Nicholas, and had no other object in view than to make game of us. He contrived to induce several from amongst us to bind themselves by an oath to secrecy ; but as to the others, he informed them merely that the restoration of Poland could never be effected but by the success of the revolution which had already been prepared, and was on the eve of breaking out, in Canada, and that every true Pole mustjoin its banner. After some insignificant remark on politics, he cunningly closed the affair with imprecations against the Government of Russia. All this he spoke in English, not knowing, or feigning not to know, Polish. Again, Polish names, e. g. Kossowski," he pronounced d l a R usse, " K assowskoy, ' which not a little surprised us. Our suspicion of his being a Russian was still more confirmed when his secretary, Izydor, a Jew, excited by liquor, said that this Von Shoultz could speak Polish ; and he (Shoultz) starting up from his chair abruptly, addressed one of ours in the following Eng lish jargon ;—" Sir, I am very sorry, for I am not able to speck Polish ; but never mine, speck English, I understan you very well indeed." _ Henceforth this Mr. Von Shoultz was, of course,.treated with contempt by us, and his proposals rejected, as being at variance with our interests. We cannot help thinking that this is a new intrigue of Russia, and that the said Von Shoultz is but a secret agent sent to the United States for the purpose of decoying our countrymen to join the insurgents of Canada, and under the specious banner of liberty (a word he often repeated) to fight against the English' Government ; whilst the Czar would avail himself of the opportunity maliciously t o po i nt out to the C a bi ne t of St. James's the ingratitude of the Poles, and their co-operation with the rebellious subjects of England. I am therefore desired by my countrymen to beg you to acquaint the English Government with the purport of our present communication, and even, if necessary, to publish it, that it may be known how far we were from entering into the views of the adventurer in question. Furthermore, we request you to add, that we shall never be found guilty of creating any uneasiness to the English Government in Canada ; but wish at all times to evince, to the utmost of our power, our sense of gratitude to the English nation far their generous conduct towards our brethren in their country. We lay this matter at your heart, and we confide in your zeal that you will act pro m ptly ; f or if t hi s b e a hidd en spr i ng of Russia, as we believe it is, the sooner it is broken the better. Let the world know it. 1 forbear to affix my name, lest I should be annoyed by the Secret Society : but you shall soon know my own name and of those who acted with me on this occasion. Meanwhile I beg to assure yo u , d ear C o l one l, o f our hi g h esteem and brothery affection, N. D. To Colonel Lach Szyrma, 10, Duke -street, St. James% London. On Saturday evening, about half-past seven o'clO'ck, a barley-stack, the produce of fourteen acres, and also a large clover stack, on the farm of Mr. John Ahlitt, at Lavenham, at some distance from any building, were dis covered to be on fire, having apparently been ignited at the same time, in opposite directions ; and the whole of the former, with the greater part of the latter, was con sumed. 'We regret to add, that whilst some of the labour ing population exerted themselves most meritoriously, others not only took no part in extinguishing the flames, but even went so far as to express their gratification.— Suffolk Chronicle. An inquest was held yesterday, at Homerton, on the body of a female, which was found in the Regent's Canal, near that place. Deceased appeared to be about twenty one years of age, and had evidently been respectably brought up. The bonnet, reticule, and shawl of the de ceased, were found near the bank of canal. The bon net was of brown silk, fashionably ni l ade, with " whiskers" inside, composed of lace and artifittial flowers. Deceased was of dark complexion and handsnme features. In the re ticule was a handkerchief, which ryas damp, whence it was conjectured she had been weeping, previous to throwing herself into the canal. Verdict—" Found drowned;' At Lambeth-street, yesterday, six persons, named William Churtell, James Gregson, John Hapskins, Francis Toy, Richard ViAcent, and James Norcott, were placed at the bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton and Mr. Tubbs, on a charge of being concerned in obtaining from the ware house of Mr. Barber, of Brewer's -quay, Thames4treet, twenty casks of butter, of the value of one hundred guineas, by means of a forged order. They were remanded.

On Sunday evening the King received the 'Bavarian Mi nister, the Prefect of the Seine, and several Generals and Colonels. Don Francisco de Paula and his family visited their Majesties. Pierre Rene Choudieu, who had been a Member of the Convention, died in Paris on Sunday last, in the 77th year of his age. Choudieu was appointed Public Accuser of the department of Maine et Loire in 1791, and shortly afterwards Member of the Legislative Assembly, where he was the first to move the downfall of Louis XVI. and the establishment of the Republic, in support ing a petition addressed to the House by his constituents. He• advocated the most energetic Republican principles, and on the eve of the 10th of August, in which he took an active part, declared the Legislative Assembly to be incapable of saving the country, and denounced the Throne and the Court as the permanent seat of con spiracy against the people. After the 10th of August he was deputed by the Assembly to allay the effervescence which had manifested itself among the sections, and caused the new municipality to be revoked as illegally instituted. Returned to Convention, he took his stand amidst the most ardent Montagnards, procured the rejection (in favour of the Orleans family) of the proposed decree of expulsion of all the members of the Royal family, and voted the death of Louis XVI. without an appeal to the people or delay. Manuel and Kersaint having tendered their resignations, in order to avoid participating in the trial of the unfortunate monarch, he moved that they be proclaimed infamous and traitors to the country. Deputed to the army of La Vendee, he recommended the adoption of the most rigorous measures in order to suppress the in surrection, and on has return to Paris he denounced the Girondins as the principal abettors and promoters of that civirwar. In 1794 he was sent as Commissioner to the Army of the North, where he had occasion to ghe proofs of firmness, courage, and disinterestedness. After the downfall of Robespierre, he, faithful to the principles of his whole life, revealed the plans of the Thermidorian fac tion, and on the 12th Germinal he openly charged the President of the Convention, Andre' Dumont, with conspiring in favour of Royalty. He was soon after ar rested and removed to Ham, where he remained confined until the amnesty of the 4th Brumaire. Bernadotte, Minister of War, gave him subsequently the direction of a branch of that department, but, as he continued to advo cate Republican principles in the Society of the Manege, of which he became one of the most influential leaders, the Consular Government deprived him of his office. Fouche shortly afterwards found means of implicating Choudieu and a number of other stanch patriots in the conspiracy of Georges, and he was obliged to fly to Holland, where be carried on for some time the business of a bookseller. In 1815 he accepted from Napoleon the post of Lieutenant- General of Police at Dunkirk, and having signed the ad ditional Act, he was included among thel regicides who were obliged to emigrate from France after the hundred days. Choudieu retired to Belgium, where he exercised the profession of reader," or corrector of the press, in a printing office, and returned to his country only after the revolution of July. Between the Ist and Bth inst. nine packets entered Bou logne with 337 passengers, and the same number, with 358, sailed. The Journal du Havrc complains of an act of rigour to wards the steamer Phwnix of that port, which was de tained two extra days at London on her last voyage, in con sequence of her having on board five bales of raw silk, the origin of which she did not declare when she arrived at Gravesend, where all vessels are inspected by the custom house officers. The Avondbode of Amsterdam gives the following from its correspondent at Brussels :—" It appears that M. Van Praet is gone to Paris to endeavour to obtain an ad ditional article to the treaty of November 15, authorizing Belgium to acquire by purchase the provinces of Limburg and Luxemburg. It is added that M. Van Praet has de clared that Belgium is ready to give as a compensation for those provinces the sum of 50,000,000 florins, or an annual rent of 3,000,000 florins." The Piedmont Gazette promulgates a convention con cluded between the King of the French and his Sardinian Majesty, for the reciprocal expulsion of malefactors taking refuge in their respective territories. The treaty was signed on the 23d of May at Turin, and ratified on the 30th of August, but its publication has been delayed in consequence of a negotiation concerning some additional articles.

OnEssA, Nov. 23.—The commercial intelligence we receive from all quarters becomes more and more favourable, and promises to afford a great profit to our speculators. There is a scarcity of corn in England ; in France, where it was thought that the crops would suffice for the wants of the population, our produce will be shortly in demand ; and in North America the harvest, we are assured, has generally failed. The consequence is, that extensive pur chases of all sorts of corn are now making in our market. Tallow also finds an advantageous sale, and large quantities have been bought up for England. Our harbour, which a few days since was full of vessels, is now almost without any, and we are waiting with impatience the arrival of others, to carry off, before we be shut up by the ice, the immense quantity of grain lying in the stores. Upwards of 150 English vessels, independently of those navigating under other flags, are hourly expected, our merchants having al ready received notice of their departure. A strong north westerly wind which has blown since the 21st may probably have prevented many from reaching our harbour. Freight, particularly for Marseilles and England, is extremely high. —Odessa Gazelle. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, DEC. 5.—1 am glad to be enabled to assure you that the report of Duke Maximilian of Leuchtenberg's destination as viceroy of Poland is by no means a Vague one, or a mere ilium desideriunz of the friends of that country. His nomination to that post may not be so near as was anticipated, but it is certainly i n th e contemplation of the Emperor, w h o by this one measure hopes to reach two desirable ends—first, to make the Poles forget that they are a conquered nation, which they never can as long as their conqueror is set over them as governor ; secondly, to have a disposable head for his army, for it is evident that in the event of a war Paskevvitsch Erivanski will be the Russian generalissimo. During the late stay of the Russian ship s a t S w i nemun d e the desertion of the marine soldiers from on board was remarkably numerous i : how they may hav e e ff ec t e d t h e i r escape in a country like ours tis difficult to sa y ; some o f them have been captured since, and ar e go i ng to b e d e li vered over to Russia ; they will pro bably increase the population of Siberia. A few days ago four men had been engaged till dark in felli ng a t r e e i n the commune of Laplune, in the Lot et Garonne, but left their work before it was finished. One of them, however, went back for some took he had left be hind ; but as he did not return, his comrades went to seek him, and found him lifeless on the ground by the side of the tree, which had 'men blown down by the wind. The sur geons who examined the body could not discover the slight est external contusion or internal injury, and attributed his death either to pressure of the air, or to a sudden fright the la ll.
